Yet we hear claims on this list again and again that it is used by
internet users all the time to verify whether the site they want to
conduct commercial transactions on is legit.

That does not mean we can act however we please, can set aside consumer
rights and ignore all laws.

If provided with actual evidence of wilful use of incorrect data and the

domain is compulsion enough.
